Product Detail
Product Detail
The MUAC Tape for Child 26.5 cm is a reliable Mid-Upper Arm Circumference measuring tape designed for rapid and accurate screening of malnutrition in children aged 6–59 months. Also known as a Shakir tape, it provides a simple yet powerful method to assess nutritional status according to UNICEF guidelines.
This tricolor MUAC measuring tape features clear cut-off points:
Red (0 – 11.5 cm): Severe acute malnutrition
Yellow (11.5 – 12.5 cm): Moderate malnutrition / at-risk
Green (12.5 – 26.5 cm): Normal nutritional status
Made from non-tear, stretch-resistant polypropylene, this MUAC tape ensures long-term durability and precise measurement. The material is waterproof, washable, and easy to sterilize, allowing safe reuse in field or clinical environments. Unlike paper or elastic materials, polypropylene maintains its exact calibration even after repeated cleaning and use, providing consistent accuracy within ±1 mm.
Lightweight, portable, and easy to read, this child MUAC measuring tape enables healthcare workers, NGOs, and nutrition programs to conduct quick, standardized screening in any setting.
